Resumo:
Corporate ethics is a set of ethical behaviors demanded in companies or public and
private organizations. Linked directly to principles that govern the Constitutional
Economic Order, carved in Article 170 of the Federal Constitution. This work of
course completion has as a general objective to analyze the instrument of business
ethics and its reflections in the Brazilian context, and specifically, to identify concepts
related to business ethics, to verify the incidence of this instrument in Brazil and to
verify the challenges pertinent to the theme, as well as , the relevance of it.
Elaborated, as regards the method of approach, by the deductive method; as far as
the methods of procedure are concerned, a comparative and historical-evolutionary
study is used, as far as research techniques are concerned, through the use of
bibliographical and documentary research. Having as a problem, the fact that the
absence of ethical precepts in corporations is a great challenge faced in society, so
understanding them so as to make them inserted in it is necessary. In this way, it is
very important to analyze and understand the terms: ethics and business
communication, as well as the legal prediction pertinent to this topic, for example, the
recent Anti-Corruption Law (Law 12.846 / 2013). The relevance that codes of ethics
have achieved over the years is verified, in addition to observing and understanding
under what circumstances their use is relevant. There are situations of applicability
and inapplicability of business ethics, with emphasis on the performance of
compliance and its areas of activity. Social responsibility is seen as the duty of
companies that act according to ethical precepts. Therefore, the compilation of this
knowledge allows us to understand why ethics is a determining factor in
socioeconomic development, and how this interferes positively in society. Therefore,
the understanding of this theme and the search for ethical practices to be present in
the most different social spheres will result in significant changes in the Brazilian
scenario. It is concluded, through this work, that the practice of business ethics has
to be daily so that continuous results can be obtained.
